http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/weekinreview/28tave.html Here’s an article you won’t find in the march of headlines on Fox News – a difficult, dark article about the current state of Iraq, written by one who arrived just after the invasion, and has witnessed all the changes since.

A Zune, on […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061017/ap_on_re_as/koreas_nuclear_350 North Korea on Tuesday blasted U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing the country for its nuclear test, saying the measures amount to a declaration of war and that the nation wouldn’t cave in to such pressure now that it’s a nuclear weapons power. Oh, terrific. Mr. No-Dong is taking bellicosity to the next illogical level. […]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction As of 2005, North Korea’s total range with its No Dong missiles is only 1,300 km, enough to reach South Korea, Japan, and parts of Russia and China, but not to the United States or Europe.

Wingbat-Sherpas reviews – StumbleUpon
http://wingbat-sherpa.stumbleupon.com/review/4201410/ I love this find from Wingbat-Sherpa. As he puts it, it’s for the paranoid plutocrat in your life: A coffin-like murphy bed for tinfoil-hat Republicans. Lots of talk about it repelling a chemical attack with its built-in carbon filters, etc, though I’m surprised they haven’t taken the no-brainer step of offering a money-back guarantee… […]
